FEET

Best Overall: There isn't a clear winner. The three Heroic drops are all good or you could just pick up the Jormscale Footpads off the AH, enchant them and move on to procuring gear for other slots.

Best Drop: Three-way tie more or less. In order of dps increase, with the best first:

• Slag Footguards - drops from Volkhan in Heroic Halls of Lightning (good gloves also drop from the next boss in the instance, Ionar)
  
• Gorloc Muddy Footwraps - drops from Eck the Ferocious in Heroic Gundrak (decent legs drop from the boss before Eck as well)
  
• Boots of the Whirling Mist - drops from Sjonnir the Ironshpaer in Heroic Halls of Stone

Best Faction: Boots of the Neverending Path. If you already have progressed far into Argent Dawn faction due to questing, you may want to push for Exalted to get these boots. They have great stats, but the time invested to get them may be better spent elsewhere.
Runner Up: Jormscale Footpads are crafted and can be found on the Auction House pretty cheap.

Enchanting: Superior Agility will do the trick.


FINGER

Best Overall: Hemorrhaging Circle and Band of the Kirin Tor. Gal'darah in Heroic Gun'drak drops the first (as well as the Gored-Hide Leggings.) As for the band, yes it costs 8500g, but it's a damn fine ring if you have the cash, plus free port to Dalaran so you can set your Hearthstone elsewhere. If that's too rich for your blood, there are more options below, though some of the Auction House options are still pricey.

Best Drop: Bjarngrim Family Signet. Drops from General Gjarngrim in Normal Halls of Lightning. Solid ring choice if you don't want to shell out the gold for the Titanium Impact band. Also consider the Mobius Band from Chrono Lord Epoch in Heroic CoT: Stratholme.

Best Quest Reward: Here's three solid options, start with best dps boost first:

• Signet of Bridenbrad - Reward from long, but entertaining Icecrown quest line starting with A Tale of Valor and ending with Light Within The Darkness
• Jagged Ice Band - Reward from another long, but lore-tastic quest line, this time in Storm Peaks starting with On Brann's Trail and ending with The Brothers Bronzebeard for Alliance. For Horde side, it starts with The Missing Bronzebeard and ends with Forging the Keystone.
  
• Frozen Mood Ring - The first reward from the extensive Sons of Hodir faction chain

Runners Up: Hit the Auction House and check the pricing on the following, ranked from best dps increase first:

• Signet of Edward the Odd - drops in Naxx, but is often seen on the AH in the 3kg range (on my server).
• Stained-Glass Shard Ring - Zone drop in Ahn'kahet
• Titanium Impact Band - crafted, runs about 1500g on my server
  
• Ring of Scarlet Shadows - This can run you around 800g depending on your server. There are many better rings you can pick up, but this are good starters if you have the money.
  

Enchanting: No ring enchants available unless you are an Enchanter.


TRINKETS

Best Overall: Darkmoon Card: Greatness. Far and away, the best trinket in the game, bar none (as of 3.0.9.) Requires you to combine 8 different pages into the Deck. Cards are dropped randomly throughout the world. Also, Inscriptionists can make the cargs. Look on the Auction House for the pages (search for "nobles")...for about 2,000g each. Sometimes you can buy the entire Deck (search for "nobles deck") for 15k-20kg. Or consider leveling in Inscription, try your hand at random card creation and hope for the best.

Best Drop: Here's a number of options with the first being an excellent choice if you can get it to drop:

• Meteorite Whetstone - Drops from King Ymiron in Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle (don't forget the Ravenous Leggings of the Furbolg also drop from Gortok Palehoof in the same zone)
  
• Incisor Fragment - Drops from King Dred in Heroic Drak'Tharon Keep.
• Forge Ember - Drops from Sjonnir in Heroic Halls of Stone (he also drops good boots.)

Best Quest Reward: I'm laying out quite a few quest options since you have two slots to fill. Again, the first one listed is excellent and the other ones after that are very good. Some of these are low 70s quests, but if you are level 80 and are still running around with your blue Burning Crusade trinkets slotted, these will definitely be upgrades.

• Crusader's Locket - Reward from Defending the Vanguard quest in Icecrown
  
• Fezzik's Pocketwatch - Reward from The Last Line of Defense quest in Icecrown
  
• Scarab of Isanoth - Reward from Horde-only quest Pride of the Horde in Dragonblight
  
• Rune of Finite Variation - Reward from Mystery of the Infinite, Redux quest in Dragonblight
  
• Chuchu's Tiny Box of Horrors - Reward from The Shadow Vault quest (A/H) in Icecrown
  
• First Mate's Pocketwatch - Reward from The Jig Is Up quest in Howlign Fjord

Runner Up: Mirror of Truth. Though it will set you back 40 Emblems of Heroism, it may be worth it. This trinket is the third best trinket in the game after the Darkmoon Deck and the Sarth2D drop, Fury of the Five Flights. Bonus: the special ability is passive and doesn't have to be activated.

Also, if you are an Alchemist, the Mighty Alchemist's Stone will do you fine. Same with the Figurine - Emerald Boar for Jewlerycrafters, but don't worry about having to summon the boar, the extra dps it provides is not significant.

Finally, check the Auction House for Tears of Bitter Anguish or try to farm it off of Nascent Val'kyr in Storm Peaks. But be warned, the drop rate is very, very low.


IDOLS

There's really only three pre-Naxx choices here:

• Idol of the Wastes - Reward from low 70s Dragonblight quest (A/H.) The bonus to Swipe doesn't affect Cat Swipe, only Bear Swipe.
  
• Idol of the Ravenous Beasts - This costs 15 Emblems of Heroism and should be your first Emblem purchase. You can buy this in 2-3 nights of running Heroic Dailies.
• Idol of the Plainstalker - Easy level 69 quest out of Borean Tundra (A/H)

A commentor also recommends solo farming Burning Crusade Heroics for 20 Badges of Justice to buy an Idol of Terror, but I think you can get the Emblem of Heroism idol just as quickly.
That's it. If I missed any good pre-Naxx items, leave a comment below. Now get out there and shred some faces.

EDIT: Added more options per commentor recommendation. Also, fixed some factual errors.
